THUNDERBOLTS

Hey all. Seems this week is the Eclectic Micks blog's second birthday. Happy birthday blog! I celebrated by doing a big ol' Thunderbolts piece. Very strange to think how much has changed since we all started the blog 2 years ago.

While i'm at it, i might as well point to an interview i did on CBR on my new Crossbones one-shot, and let ye know my latest issue of T-Bolts (a spotlight issue on Man-Thing) is out tomorrow. Preview here.

Was just having a gander at those preview pages, love what you're doing with Manny, Dec! I think a lot of artists forget that he's covered in (and mostly composed of) goopy swamp mush and draw him more like a hairy Hulk than anything, whereas you manage to find a great balance between the two.

The panel where Man-Thing emerges to confront the council execs is fantastic, you can just feel all that slop gushing off him!

Ah cheers Eoin, appreciate it. I really like drawing foliage and the like, so Man-Thing is a lot of fun to draw.

I think because Man-Thing hasn't made much of an appearance in a long time, no one really goes to the effort of figuring him out; they draw "a hairy Hulk" as you say, but I picked up and old Essential volume of his and studied how the various artist drew him til i figure him out myself.
